Wow thank you that was a lot easier than I had heard. Now if I could get the two macs to see each other the desktop sees the laptop, but not the other way around. When I try to connect to the laptop it tries for minute then says "Connection Failed".

I tried everything to get this damn computer to communicate with my Windows XP laptop! First, I activated file sharing using FTP, but then I wasn't able to see anything else than the home folder of the OS X user even, if I added others shared folders from my second hard drive. Then, I tried to use SMB as described on this thread but I can't even see the shared folders on Windows. I'm trying to get this to work over a Dlink router so I figured it could be the culprit. Do I have to activate port forwarding for a specific port?

Edit, now I can see it but, the OK box is grayed out in Windows when I try to connect to it.
